I Feel Sorry for Moses
Mrs. Moses Diary You are to say everything I command you, and your brother Aaron is to tell Pharaoh to let the Israelites go out of his country. But I will harden Pharaoh’s heart, and though I multiply my signs and wonder in Egypt, he will not listen to you. Exodus 7:2-4a by Bonnie Beardsley Moses’ first meeting with Pharaoh didn’t go well. It made the Egyptian ruler angry and he took it out on the Hebrews … and that made the Hebrews mad at Moses. Moses prayed to God and found out His plan. It won’t be easy. God will be doing the hard work. Through all that is to come God will show Pharaoh that God is stronger than him and He is in control. The next time they went before Pharaoh and he refused my husband’s request, Moses had Aaron throw his staff down....

Mrs. Moses Diary So now, go. I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring my people the Israelites out of Egypt.” Exodus 3:10 (NIV) by Bonnie Beardsley Dear Diary, It has been years since I last wrote. Life got busy fast with the birth of our son and other children. Today, Moses was late getting back from shepherding our sheep today. I had started to worry when he finally got home. He immediately talked to my dad. That’s very unusual for him. I still didn’t know why he was so late but I dared not listen in on their conversation. I stayed busy while cooking his dinner. When he did come home, I sat with him while he ate. He told me about a bush on the mount that looked like it was on fire, yet it didn’t burn up. As he went to go check out this bush God...

Mrs. Moses’s Diary They answered, “An Egyptian rescued us from the shepherds. He even drew water for us and watered the flock.” Exodus 2:19 (NIV) by Bonnie Beardsley Dear Diary, You won’t believe what happened today. My sisters and I were at the well watering our sheep when some bullies came. They scattered our sheep so they could use the well. As my sisters were gathering the sheep, a man appeared and chased the men away. He then drew more water and helped us water our sheep. He looked to be Egyptian, but why was he alone? When we returned home early, my dad wanted to know why. When I told him what happened, he had me bring the man home so my father could properly thank him. I ran back to the well, and the man was still there. He gladly came with me...

“Lying lips are extremely disgusting to the Lord, but those who deal faithfully are His delight.” Proverbs 12:22 (AMP) by Penny L. Hunt The time-out chair has a hard seat. It’s turned so I can’t see out the window, and it’s so high my feet don’t touch the ground. Today I had to sit there for a long time. Mom asked if I’d taken Ellie for her morning walk. I said, “yes,” but I hadn’t. I’d watched cartoons instead. Ellie couldn’t wait and pooped on the rug by the front door. Dad stepped in it—in his bare feet. I didn’t want Ellie to get in trouble. I told Dad it was my fault. I said I’d waited too long to take her out. Mom heard me. I was caught in the lie I’d told. Dad said lying was one of...

Mrs. Noah’s Diary Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth. Genesis 9:16 (NIV) by Bonnie Beardsley Dear Diary, Almost two months have passed since Noah’s birthday. God finally let us out of the ark. After we emptied the boat, the first thing Noah did was gather stones to build an altar. Then he offered sacrifices and thanked God for bringing us through the storm. Noah’s sacrifices and praises pleased God, and He made a promise that He’d never again destroy the whole earth with a flood. He placed a rainbow in the sky to seal the promise. The colors were beautiful. Now for my bath. About Bonnie Beardsley Bonnie Beardsley is a wife...
